Apple coring and wedge slicing solution

Streamline your apple processing with precise coring and slicing to meet diverse product specifications, enhancing efficiency and reducing manual labor in fresh produce preparation.

Cores and Slices Apples into Wedges

The Apple Coring and Wedge Slicing Machine from Kronitek is engineered for efficiency, transforming whole apples into precisely sliced wedges and cores, ideal for fruit processing and food preparation sectors. This machine uniquely combines manual feeding with semi-automatic processing to achieve a throughput of 500 kg/h. It utilizes adjustable cutting tools, allowing customization of the number of slices per apple, ranging from 4 to 12 wedges, according to production needs. This equipment is particularly suitable for producing fresh apple snack packs, apple pie filling components, and dehydrated apple slices. Constructed from stainless steel AISI 304, it offers excellent corrosion resistance, making it durable in various food processing environments. The separation of apple wedges and cores onto distinct conveyor belts ensures streamlined downstream processing, while the requirement for an additional air compressor for operating its pressure cylinders underscores its easy integration into existing processing lines.
